After seeing Puggy's thread on the Sharpfinger and it being one of my all time favorite vintage knives it inspired me to get off'n the couch and head out to my shop. Found a piece of 1095 and set to work laying out and cutting out this blank on my bandsaw. Did a little different twist on the handle shape and will post some more pics as I get into the grinding. Thanks Puggy for the inspiration I been wanting to do something different from the EDC's I been doing. Always keep it fun!

Next I will fire up the gas frankenforge and normalize the blade. This blade is real thin and being 1095 that is prone to warp and crack it needs to be normalized real good but not too hot. If I don't normalize it will warp/crack for sure when I quench it. Tempted to normalize it twice but sometimes more is not good. I'm an amature so I learn by trail and error

The purpose of this thread is to do a build along and help show any novice or hobbyist like me the stages of making yourself a knife. Hope it holds at least until I get finished.
